About this listen
When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in....
For more than fifty years, the country has been affected by a horrifying epidemic of ghosts. A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy the dangerous apparitions.
Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping for a notable career. Instead she finds herself joining the smallest most ramshackle agency in the city, run by the charismatic Anthony Lockwood.
When one of their cases goes horribly wrong, Lockwood & Co. have one last chance of redemption. Unfortunately this involves spending the night in one of the most haunted houses in England, and trying to escape alive.
Set in a city stalked by spectres, The Screaming Staircase is the first in a chilling new series full of suspense, humour and truly terrifying ghosts. Your nights will never be the same again....

Interesting but short
Wish I'd read it as a kid. As an adult, I'm clearly not the target audience but I like the world and fantasy elements. Characters are good too.
The netflix adaptation is suprisingly close and does justice to the book (I thought Netflix was incapable of that). Overall, a fun quick read.

Spooky, humorous, and adventurous!
okay I may be a bit biased for Lockwood and co (it's one of my favourite series of all time), but this audiobook was really well done. The VA does a great job of narrating as Lucy Carlyle - capturing the wit and sarcasm of the character. The spooky scenes are also done really well, and were extra chilling in audiobook format. It's sad the same VA does not continue with the rest of the books.
As for the story - Lockwood and co is about a team of teenage ghost-hunters. The book manages a perfect balance between adventuring, horror, and humour.
The narrator of the story, Lucy Carlyle, is one badass female with an acerbic tongue and sarcasm levels over 9000,and her banter with the other characters is always a delight. The spooky scenes are actually scary. Overall, a great package. Great work by Jonathan Stroud.
